Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest basketball player in the history and his hulking frame has already shocked the world for ten years at least.

It is not just O’Neal’s powerful scoring presence that ultimately defines his career, but also the fact that no elite N.B.A. player has ever appeared to have so much fun doing it. O’Neal, a four-time champion, is known in league circles as the Godfather . He is the superstar who young players are most likely to seek out for counsel. He is the guy who everyone wants for a teammate. And he is the N.B.A.’s reigning goofball, a role that has endeared him to players, fans, children and reporters for nearly two decades.

O’Neal is unique, however there have been many other dominant players in the history, however there have been many player comedians in the union.  O’Neal is the only all-star who can light up every arenas whether or not he has the ball.

Nobody will be ever as the big guy, on and off the court, he is the best. O’Neal has already been the symbol of NBA. No one can replace him, ever.

Big-wave surfing is very dangerous, the underwater rock fomation can result in towering walls of water,which can deliver the most serious punishment to the surfers if they wipe out. So many people died in it, as a result big-wave surfers must do more than wax their boards and wait for waves.

They study weather patterns, listen to radio broadcasts by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and do whatever else to get understand the water’s movements.

Before surfing, the community takes adavantage of the data from NASA’s satellite to scan undulations on the sea, microwaves to measure water vapor, G.P.S. to pinpoint locations, and lasers to communicate with ground stations…
